Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé Chambolle Musigny 2012

A refined Chambolle-Musigny from Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé, one of Burgundy’s most celebrated estates. The 2012 vintage combines ripe red-fruit character and a sensuous texture with the elegance associated with this village; the domaine’s roots reach back to the 15th century.

Tasting Notes
The nose is mellow and inviting, with red fruits and gentle spice. On the palate, ripe cherry and raspberry meet a rounded, harmonious texture, an early hint of sweetness and lively, juicy energy. The finish is restrained yet persistent. Stephen Tanzer noted in 2014 that it showed more elegance in bottle than it had from barrel.

Production
Made in Chambolle-Musigny, in Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits, where limestone-rich soils are characteristic of the village’s vineyards. The supplied information does not specify the vineyard parcels, harvest methods or vinification details. Now a mature vintage, it is best approached as a wine to enjoy rather than hold for extended cellaring; careful storage will have a major bearing on its condition.

Food & Serving
Serve at around 16–18°C. It should pair well with roast chicken, duck, veal or mushroom dishes, whose savoury flavours complement its ripe red fruit and graceful texture. A brief, gentle decant may help the wine open, but avoid prolonged aeration, particularly if the bottle has been well cellared.
